Hybrid work models have reshaped enterprise communication, demanding meeting solutions that are inclusive, efficient and secure. In a discussion with Commercial Integrator, Bryan Phann, senior business line manager at ViewSonic, details how the company’s certified Microsoft Teams Rooms solutions are engineered to meet these modern demands. Phann explains that ViewSonic’s approach is not just about individual components but about creating a complete, seamless ecosystem that enhances collaboration for businesses of all sizes.
A Complete Ecosystem for Hybrid Collaboration
Many solutions on the market consist of a collection of separate parts, but ViewSonic has focused on developing an integrated ecosystem, reveals Phann. This includes a certified Microsoft Teams Rooms computing engine, a touch console and a 4K video bar, all designed to work in harmony. Phann emphasizes that this approach provides a consistent and reliable user experience across any room type. “ViewSonic TeamJoin, [as a] solution, stands out because they are built as a complete ecosystem — not just a collection of parts,” he states.
A significant advantage of this ecosystem is the flexibility it offers in display technology. As a display-focused company, ViewSonic provides a wide array of options, including interactive displays, commercial presentation displays, direct-view LEDs and projectors. This variety ensures that businesses can select the ideal display for their specific needs, from small huddle spaces to large auditoriums, all while maintaining a consistent Microsoft Teams Rooms experience.
Enhancing Meeting Inclusivity and Efficiency
The success of a hybrid meeting, Phann proclaims, hinges on making every participant, whether in-person or remote, feel included. ViewSonic’s solutions are designed to foster this inclusivity. With features like one-touch join, meetings can start instantly, eliminating the costly delays often associated with setting up conferencing equipment.
“Hybrid meeting only works when everyone feels included. So, with our ViewSonic TeamJoin solution…there’s no wait time,” Phann explains.
According to Phann, the variety of displays also plays a crucial role in making meetings more engaging. Interactive displays enable real-time whiteboarding and annotation, transforming passive presentations into active working sessions. Commercial displays provide sharp, clear visuals for slides and data, while direct-view LED displays create impressive, eye-catching visuals for larger rooms. For even bigger spaces, high-brightness laser projectors offer flexible, large-scale images.
As Phann aptly remarks, “These displays make hybrid meeting more engaging, [ensuring that] every voice is heard, and every face is seen.”
Scalability from Huddle Rooms to Auditoriums
From Phann’s perspective, one of ViewSonic’s key strengths is the scalability of its solutions. As mentioned earlier, the company offers tailored configurations for rooms of any size, ensuring a consistent user experience across an entire organization.
For small huddle rooms, a compact interactive or commercial display provides the necessary functionality without overwhelming the space. For mid-sized conference rooms, larger displays — including ultra-wide options — support advanced features like the Microsoft Teams Rooms Front Row experience. These 5K ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio displays, available in 92-inch and 105-inch sizes, can even be combined to create a dynamic environment where one screen is used for annotation while the other displays the content.
In other words, regardless of the room size or display technology used, the core experience remains the same. Phann stresses the importance of this consistency, adding, “No matter the [size and configuration of the] room, the TeamJoin foundation and experience [remains] the same.”
Built-in Enterprise-Grade Security
Phann then touches on the security aspect, acknowledging it as a non-negotiable priority for enterprise clients. He adds that ViewSonic has addressed this by integrating robust security features directly into the hardware and software of its Microsoft Teams Rooms solution. The systems also utilize the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, a standard security requirement for Windows 11, which helps prevent tampering and handles authentication.
“Security is built into the hardware and software,” Phann reaffirms. “And they run on the latest processors, so that supports advanced threat detection and control flow protection.” He further notes that ViewSonic also ensures that systems remain secure over time through regular firmware updates and remote management tools.
ViewSonic TeamJoin: Streamlining for System Integrators
According to Phann, ViewSonic has also designed its ecosystem with system integrators in mind. Here, the goal is to make installation, configuration and long-term support as straightforward as possible. Phann adds that the displays are VESA-compatible for easy mounting and cabling has been simplified for easier installation and use. For instance, the connection between the computing engine and the touch console requires only a single USB-C cable.
Phann further reveals that the all-in-one direct-view LED panels also come pre-calibrated and pre-configured, saving significant time during setup. Projectors feature advanced tools like auto-keystone correction to ensure perfect image alignment.
According to Phann, this not only saves time but also proves to be cost-effective, as integrators can source everything from a single, trusted company. “Support does matter when it comes to multiple component and multiple brands that you have to take care of.” he explains. “So, in a simplified AV environment, the integrator sees more value when a company has everything for them to purchase and integrate [as one solution].”
The Value of Scalable AV Solutions for the Future
In summation, as businesses continue to navigate the evolving landscape of hybrid work, the need for integrated, scalable and secure communication solutions will only grow in the future. Phann emphasizes this importance of preparation in an increasingly digital world, stating, “Our solutions are future-ready — they continue to support new Microsoft Teams features as hybrid work evolves.”
